he was introduced to "Red Shirt" Glad

noticed difference between Engiishmen and
Americans or if he regarded them as

DIDN'T KNOW MUCH
about brotherhood. The 800 workmen

to a toast to his health, said: 1.-The insti-
tutions and progress of the United States
have always been a subject of great interest
to me ever since many years ago
STUDIED LIFE AT WASHINGTON.
1 became then aware first, of the magnitude
of the destiny reserved for Americans; Sec
ond, of the fact that the period of the birth
of American states is of more interest
than any other possible to study.
Whenever youth desires to study politi-
cal subjects, and consults me respecting
the course of study, always refer him to
the early history of America. God Al
mighty made Englishmen and Americans
kinsmen, and they ought to haye an
AFFECTION FOR ONE ANOTHER.
If they had not humanity would cry
shame upon them. l rejoice that the
clouds which once obscured our mutual
vision have almost vanished from our po-
litical sky, and that the future is as bright
and promising as the warmest hearted
among as could desire"

steamboatmen,s superstitions,


Most river and steamboat men are full Of
wild theories and pet superstitions. On any
craft that floats in some conspicuous place
or quiet corner you will find ''mascotte, -

superstitions, but have frequently noticed
that whenever find and pick up horse

luck. So when zee one, as did while

pocket and carry it to my Office. I DO not

The California Fruit Problem.

SAN Francisco, April 28.-The Merchant
tomorrow will say the temporary suspen'
sion of section of the Interstate Com
merce law will be practically useless as far
as California products are concerned. The
fruit season will be only begun at the expi.
ration of the suspension. A large proper.
tion of the fruit is sold to Gamers, and
prices are regulated by supply and de.
mand. If the fruit, owing to prohibitory
freight rates cannot be shipped East, fruit
growers will be compelled to accept lower
prices than usual from Gamers. The crop
will be the largest ever produced in Califor.
MIA, and growers fear prices will be forced
so low it will he less loss to allow the
fruit to rot on the trees than to gather it.
If the fourth section is not ultimately sus-
pended it will be more disastrous to Cali
lorna than any other State in the Union.

discussion at the last session OF the Inter
national Range Association, held in Denver
in February" It is further rumored that
the scheme upon which the gentlemen are
working is to control the beef market OF
the country, and that they have associ-
ated with them one OF the members Of the

The Flavor Of Cigars.

Smokers cannot understand why cigars of
the same brand and selling at $50 or $40 per
1000 have different favors, and do not all
seem to be equally good. All these cigars
are made from the same quality of Havana
tobacco, paid for at exactly the same price
by the manufacturers, but the difference in
favors is brought about by the sweating and
other processes through which the different
factories put their stocks. One factory has
its way of treating the tobacco and another
factory has another way, so that the cigars
coming from the two factories will differ in
davors, though the tobacco is exactly the
same. The skill of cigarmaker too, has
great deal to do with it. You can give the
same quality of material to two men and
each will produce good cigar, but one will
smoke better and have finer flavor-the
one made by the better cigar maker.-Dealer

reduced rates to ministers of religion. and
if they are given on the same general and
